1.0 of 5 stars. You have got to be kidding. The price for the quality of food does not match anywhere on the menu. The setting is great and it is too bad that the food and prices (I don't mind paying the resort...

3.0 of 5 stars. If you want to pretend to save money at Mikuni's, you can sign up for the frequent buyer program and get $25 back when you spend $750 at Mikuni's. Riiight... Otherwise, you can just spend an arm and a...
